What is a Power Surge?
A power surge is a sudden increase in voltage that can damage or destroy electronic devices. Power surges can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:
- Lightning strikes: When lightning strikes near a power line, it can cause a massive surge of electricity.
- Power grid fluctuations: Issues with the power grid, such as downed power lines or malfunctioning transformers, can lead to power surges.
- High-powered appliances: Starting up large appliances like air conditioners or refrigerators can create brief power surges within your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
▶What is whole-home surge protection?
Whole-home surge protection uses a device installed near the main electrical panel to help reduce damage from sudden voltage spikes entering or occurring within the home.
▶Is a power strip enough to protect my whole home?
No. Plug-in surge protectors only protect the devices connected to them. Whole-home surge protection provides a broader first layer of protection for circuits and equipment throughout the home.
▶Can lightning damage HVAC equipment and appliances?
Yes. Lightning and utility-related voltage events can damage HVAC controls, appliances, televisions, computers, smart-home equipment, and other sensitive electronics.
▶Where is a whole-home surge protector installed?
Whole-home surge protection is generally installed at or near the main electrical panel so it can respond to voltage surges affecting the home's electrical system.
▶Does whole-home surge protection stop every surge?
No surge protection system can guarantee protection from every electrical event. Whole-home protection helps reduce risk and works best as part of a layered approach with appropriate device-level protection.
▶Do surge protection devices need replacement?
Surge protection devices can wear out after repeated or significant voltage events. Their condition and status indicators should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
